I love the launcher but it lags when running live wallpaper….I'm gonna keep it for now hoping they will get it fixed

Chamberlan

This may be a newbie question so please forgive, but I would really like to know. How are you getting your droid to run so smoothly. I still have a lag since I got the OTA update.

magdroid

I don't know exactly. My droid had a bit of lag, but that's why I like ClockworkMod so much. It actually runs a bit smoother than stock. It even runs better than Helix1 (I haven't tried the Helix2 Beta). Did you clear all your apps/widgets/icons off your original home launcher before installing ClockworkMod? Are you using a home replacement??

MagDroid have you heard of NexusMod? they came out with a 2.1 compatible version today could you give it a test drive?

magdroid

Actually I haven't heard of it. Is it available on the market? I wouldlove to try it out!

Exodus615

Yes it is NexusMod 2.0 use to be a good app til the 2.1 ota came out then it stopped working now the dev says it back and better than ever and works with 2.1 Droid would like a video of the Nexus live wallpapers if you dont mind and your opinion on it .99 in the market NexusMod 2.0

” Did you clear all your apps/widgets/icons off your original home launcher before installing ClockworkMod?”

mag would this affect performance if you didn't clear them…i.e. lag?

Should i use this launcher or helix launcher 2 0.7 beta 2

magdroid

If you don't want to pay the $3.00 I would say Helix. I am waiting for helix to come OUT of beta before I go back to it. I may not go back, depends how smooth it is.

Zazza

Just bought it and it's constantly freezing, had to go back to safe mode and remove defaults on Launcher. Anybody experienced the same problem?

BTW that Android wallpaper and setup I have on there is probably my fav of all time!

Doolidg

thanks for the vid you made me go and download the beautiful widgets….your android wallpaper is really cool…the one that says android with the little yellow droids….where did you get it…Thanks for your time…..

xFenixKnightx

I hope this doesnt come off as a bit douchey but…I dont want anyone else to have that wallpaper. Sorry. =/

I keed! Zedge app, should be under technology or just do a search for Android on there.

Jarred

Your vid is the other one I saw, thats why I asked.

Doolidg

Ok nobody asked you so I have to know where did your get that killer wallpaperAnd the weather app they look great!

thanks…I just went and downloaded the beautiful widgets WOW what a nice touch it adds….the link you sent me for the wallpaper is not the right one though, the one you have the link to is a pic of earth..I was looking at your home screen with the little yellow droids and says android across it….that one rocks…what's that wallpaper? And thanks for your time

magdroid

I'm sorry. I must be the other dude with the video. LOL. You can tryleaving a video comment for him, and see if he replies.

Doolidg

Thanks magdroid…I left a comment well see if he gets back to me

xFenixKnightx

Zedge app FTW! Search Android.

Doolidg

At some point won't these features be part of a future Droid update?

If I'm coming from Helix to this one should I take off all my widgets on my screens to make sure they are blank so I don;t get any FC?? I only have 5 screens going right now but would like to try this one out but dont want any issues.

Anyone come from Helix to this one yet? BTW Helix is set as default on my phone if that helps

magdroid

Yes, you want to clear your screen of all widgets. They don't play nice on seperate Home replacements. That is why some people complain of lag issues, because they keep everything on all their screens…and wonder why they get lag.

Jarred

Why is it that every video I see of the ClockworkMod Launcher, that onscreen home button is a fail? Is it not very responsive?

MagDroid

Because you have to hit the thing DEAD center. It's hard to do when your shooting a video and hitting buttons with the other hand. 🙂

bladedancer12

whats the name of the app your using to for your pictures on your page? there where four pics together??

MagDroid

It's Contacts! Widget (don't forget the “!” at the end).

Exodus615

yo MagDroid how is that app is it worth the money is the developer a good dev? do you have issues with it force closing and such do you recommend it to us Droid-Lifers

Tom

the dev is koush and he is amazing. I can't speak of FC, because I am rooted. but koush is the bam behind the Droid ClockworkMOD.

Exodus615

Tom did you go from stock 2.1 to rooted or you never updated?

aarynk

The only thing holding me up in buying this is seeing how it works in landscape which of course was not shown. Is this really worth buying over Helix?

I have not yet purchased anything with euros… ? ? I'm in america, can I do that.. Any stats on the transfer rate of Dollars to Euros?… thanks in advance

onetime420

you can use our us dollar to buy it but it cost us more b/c their buck is worth more

rdunseith

He didn't show how if you hold down the launcher button you get the Palm Pre like cards.

iammebane

yes you do…. actually, i think you either double tap the screen, or hold the launcher down
